As western Anjou is famous for its slate (ardoise) it is appropriate that its slate has inspired an Angevin confectionary speciality – Quernons d'Ardoise. Covered in blue chocoalte with a crunchy nougatine and almond interior as the website explains:
'Le Quernon d’Ardoise est composé de nougatine caramélisée aux amandes et aux noisettes, enrobée de chocolat bleu imitant dans sa forme et sa couleur les ardoises qui couvrent les maisons de la ville d'Angers.'

Sounds delicious. The world definitely needs more blue chocolate.
They are indeed delicious. I know one Brissac producer who is addicted to them. The company has two shops in Angers so on your next visit you could buy some to try.
